The Gospel is Good News for All
Read: Luke 2:8-20
In life, what’s good news for one person isn’t always good news for another. A promotion is exciting for the one who receives it, while it may feel disappointing to the one who didn’t. But the angel’s announcement to the shepherds was different. It was “good news that will cause great joy for all the people” (Luke 2:10).
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased” (Luke 2:14). This message wasn’t for a select few but for everyone, everywhere. Jesus, the promised Savior, had come to bring peace and hope to all. The angel met shepherds in the field, proving that no matter who you are or what you do, Jesus wants to be your King. He meets us where we are—status, background, or wealth don’t matter. That’s the good news of the gospel.
TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK:
> How does Jesus’ kingdom show it’s open to everyone?
> The shepherds couldn’t keep the good news to themselves
(Luke 2:20).
> Is there someone you can share it with this Christmas?
